Switching sides

So I'm now up to peeing twice a night. You'd think with all these years of evolution behind us the female body would have figured out how to deal with the decreasing space that is alotted to the bladder in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. The dexterity of the human thumb has adapted to the Game Boy in less than 20 years after all. Personally I view this as just training for the reality that I'll be getting up several times and at all hours of the night for feedings in less than four months.

The layout of our bedroom requires that the foot and one side of the bed be up against the wall. The night table is wedged between the head of our bed and the wall. My preferred side of the bed has been against the wall since it's so cosy and the glare from the heater doesn't keep me up all night. That side of the bed is also the furthest from the door and requires that I climb over a sleeping Sean in the middle of the night to do my business. The night before last was my first two pee night and by the time I had to get up for the second pee I was not too genki and had a bit of trouble getting me arse to the toilet in time. So last night Sean and I switched sides. It is something that was in my future anyways as the wee nipper is going to have to sleep on the "no wall" side of the bed and I'm planning on being the food source. It was a little sad and a little exciting but most of all it was just as cosy and Sean positioned the heater so that I didn't feel like I was staring at the rising sun through my eye lids.

For your enjoyment and astonishment here are the measurements of our bedroom...

Bedroom 2.5 m x 2 m
Bed 140 cm x 2 m
Table 60 cm x 30 cm
Door allowance 85 cm x 85 cm (door opens INTO the room, friggin' tres stupido)
Remainder 168 cm x 87 cm (for heater, to get dressed and baby bed)

Not such a roomy room ne? But it's still cosy!
